11 Movie Animal Sidekicks Who Stole Our Hearts

When it comes to dynamic duos, we prefer our sidekicks furry. The presence of an animal instantly turns the dullest of movies into a classic. Here are the animals we wish could have won "Best Animal" at the Oscars.

1. Toto from "The Wizard of Oz"

Dorothy's feisty little terrier is the animal sidekick who started it all. The beloved showbiz pup even has her own monument at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

6. Binx from "Hocus Pocus"

Technically, Binx is a boy who's under Bette Midler's curse, but who cares about details like that? Binx is sassy, lovable and had lots of kids hoping that the stray cat in their neighborhood might one day start talking to them.

10. Uggie from "The Artist"

11. Babe from..."Babe"

OK, he's not technically a sidekick, but this adorable pig saved his own bacon—and that of his fellow farm dwellers—so many times that we were left wondering what Hoggett Farm would've done without him.
